I am damn near hopeless with routers and a printer on the skids can take me around the bend. But, inspired by my mother and my husband and a friend, I remembered that hopeless is almost always an overstatement.

Show notes

I really believe that acceptance is the Mt Everest of human emotions—the hardest place to get to, the hardest place to stay, but the views are unforgettable.

You know the feeling you get when you look at a cool building or clouds from the plane window? When you watch a young person excel in anything — from tennis to American Idol?
